Hello parents,

As part of getting ready for the Summer, we would like to put the safety of our kids first. Not only do we recommend our children take swimming lessons as soon as 6 months, but we also should protect them against UV light. The Academy of Pediatrics recommends barrier method as the preferred method. What we mean by this is wearing long sleeve UV protecting tops, and a hat that also covers the back of the neck and the top of the ears. Picking a sun screen product can be tricky. These are the products that made it to the “best” list:

  1. Coral Safe Suscreen Lotion
  2. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Mineral Sunscreen lotion
  3. Mad Hippie Facial Sunscreen lotion

These are the non mineral sunscreen best options:

  1. Alba Botanica Hawaiian Sunscreen lotion
  2. Banana Boat Sport Ultra Sunscreen stick
  3. Black Girl Sunscreen Melanin Boosting Moisturizing Sunscreen  lotion

These are the sunscreen that made it to the kids’ best list:

  1. TruBaby Everyday Play Suncreen lotion
  2. SunBioLogic Kids’ sunscreen stick
  3. Kiss My face organic kids’s defense sunscreen lotion
